How We Approach Roof Replacement Work

Before quoting a re-roof, we conduct a full structural assessment. This includes measuring rafter spacing and sizing, checking purlin spans and support points, assessing wall plate condition, and testing timber moisture content at multiple points. This assessment determines whether the existing structure can support the proposed new covering or whether timber reinforcement is needed. Getting this wrong means tiles that deflect between rafters, overloaded purlins that bow, and premature batten failure — problems we regularly fix on re-roofs done by contractors who skipped the structural survey.

Materials and Aftercare

Our standard re-roof specification includes: breathable roofing membrane (Tyvek Supro or equivalent, warranted 25 years), pressure-treated graded battens at centres specified for the tile type, stainless steel or galvanised nails (never plain steel, which corrodes in 15-20 years), and tiles from leading UK manufacturers with minimum 30-year warranties. For period properties, we upgrade to handmade clay tiles, traditional lime mortar bedding, and copper or stainless steel fixings throughout. Every component is specified in your quote so you know exactly what you are paying for.

We provide a comprehensive handover pack including: your 10-year workmanship guarantee certificate, material manufacturer warranty registrations, a photographic record of key stages of the work, maintenance recommendations specific to your new roof covering, and our direct contact details for any future queries. We also schedule a complimentary 12-month inspection to check that all materials have settled correctly and no snagging items have emerged through the first year of weather cycling.
